• Does not work with IE8 Compat Mode = Off
• Works in IE8 Compat Mode = On
• Works in Firefox
• Works in Chrome

Answer 1

If you use overflow:hidden on the HTML element and the BODY that should get it working in IE7 also.

Answer 2

Another option for your site if it's IE7 compatible already is:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >

This will buy you time until you can get everything right in IE8 native.
